The St Michael 1 Kilo Silver Angel Coin – A Numismatic World-First

A Legendary Tribute to St Michael

The St Michael 1 Kilo Silver Angel Coin is a true numismatic masterpiece, combining historical significance with modern minting excellence. Struck in 1 kilo of .999 pure silver, this exclusive release, in honour of the coin's 40th birthday, marks the first-ever Reverse Proof Isle of Man Silver Angel Coin, making it a must-have for serious collectors.

A Coin Steeped in History

The Angel coin’s origins date back to 1465 when King Edward IV introduced it as one of England’s earliest gold coins. Inspired by the French angelot, its name derives from the striking depiction of Archangel Michael slaying the dragon, a powerful symbol of good triumphing over evil. The Angel quickly became a revered coin, not only for its monetary value but also for its mystical properties.

Throughout history, the Angel coin was believed to possess healing powers. Monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth I and King Charles II, performed the "Royal Touch," a ritual where the coin was placed in the hands of the sick, symbolising divine protection and healing. Pilots and sailors also carried the Angel as a lucky talisman, believing it would safeguard them in times of peril. Despite its discontinuation during the 17th century, the legend of the Angel endured.

In the 1980s, the Isle of Man revived the Angel coin in gold and silver, and it quickly earned the nickname "The Krugerrand Killer" due to its growing popularity among investors and collectors. Now, in 2024, this historic coin reaches a new milestone with the introduction of the first-ever 1 Kilo Reverse Proof Silver edition.

Majestic Design & Craftsmanship

The St Michael Silver Angel Coin is a masterpiece of intricate design. The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III, designed by renowned artist Glyn Davies, along with the Isle of Man triskelion and the year 2024. The reverse showcases a striking image of St Michael, adorned with wings, a halo, and a spear, decisively defeating the dragon in an eternal battle of good versus evil. Encircling this breathtaking scene is an ornate Viking-inspired border, paying homage to the Isle of Man’s rich heritage.
